"Heart of the Wish" by Maggie Alexandrite

As a living wish, Mina knows if she is given up, she will die.

Staying alive isn’t her reason for keeping Davian happy, though. He is the man who wished her to life in order to replace the woman who broke his heart. He is her sole purpose. The love of her life. She will do anything for him.

But when Mina is unable to prevent the reunion between Davian and the woman from his past, and their old feelings reignite, she is given up as a wish and the magic that once kept her alive begins to slowly kill her.

Unable to let go of the life she has with Davian, Mina sets out to make a wish. She summons a dark spirit known as the Blood King, the only being who can help her. Together, they strike a deal. If she finds the hidden pieces of his heart behind a set of mirrors, he will give her what she wants in return: a heart of her own to make her a human.

Vanishing through the mirrors, Mina befriends previous deal makers lost in the strange and twisted world on the other side. Feeling that her life has more value than she’s ever given it, Mina is hopeful she can beat out her magic and get her heart, but when she uncovers a troubling tale about the Blood King and his mirrors that may hinder her, she questions what his true intentions might be in granting her one true wish.

"Faerie" by Anna Cartwright

Life has just kicked Cora pretty hard.

With everything turned upside down, she seeks a place of solace, somewhere to learn to live again, and a small village in the countryside seems like the perfect hideaway.

But a chance encounter with a crotchety old bookshop owner spins her into a world she can’t believe in, with a new role causing Cora to reassess everything she thought she knew.

Making new friends along the way, she starts to realise there is a whole vibrant world, a world that few people have ever seen, that runs parallel to hers. And it’s in danger. And that danger extends to the human world too.

Follow Cora as she struggles to live in one world, yet can’t seem to fit into another...

"Fallow Goddess" by Kathryn Antoinette

They told her she was sick. They lied.

The Astraean Empire ended famine, cured disease, and gave its citizens two hundred years of life.

Akari Hara has devoted her life to Princess Estelle since they were both just five years old.

But Akari is the Daughter of Rhea — a direct descendant of the Mad Queen who destroyed her own country and starved the continent. And just like her mother before her, she will die before she is thirty, while Estelle will go on living another century without her.

Every morning and every evening, Akari takes a compound her physician tells her will keep her stable for as long as possible.

Yasu Kharona planned to die. After fourteen years apart, he goes to the palace for one last look, to know she's okay.

But Akari isn't okay. And when he sees her, he changes his mind.

Within a day, the drug is out of her blood and a city district has rotted to the ground.

The medicine was never treatment. It was control, and the Empire has been doing this to her family for a thousand years.

Akari doesn't want revenge. She wants a quiet life with the people she loves.

And that's the one thing the Empire can never allow.

"The Carrogh's Due" by Anastasia Geneave

Six people are missing. The only thing they have in common? The river.

Detective Rowan Ashcraft doesn’t get the easy cases. As a detective with the Paranormal Crime Division, she takes on cases that ordinary police can’t touch or won’t believe in.

This one is different from the start. Every so often, someone goes near the river and doesn’t come back. Until one does, and when he reappears, he’s different. Haunted.

With her partner Callum along for the ride (equal parts good instincts and bad jokes), Rowan starts pulling threads that go back further than either of them are ready for. A cover-up that’s closer to home than Callum could have ever expected. A pattern that isn’t random. And a window that’s closing fast, because whatever’s waiting under the river doesn’t open it’s ledger often, and it’s almost time again.

Rowan’s got a daughter to get home to every night, office politics to navigate and a list of people running out of time. Working out what the Carrogh actually wants might be the only way to bring them back, but when every discovery leads to more questions, will they find the answers they are owed?

"The Carrogh’s Due" is the first in The Fifth Point Series, an Australian urban fantasy mystery for readers who want their supernatural crime with banter, real emotional stakes and a river witch who’s more complicated than evil.

About the Author

Anastasia is a storyteller who writes from the depths of her subconscious, where dreams don’t just whisper, they scream, shimmer, and linger for decades. Since childhood, she’s carried an entire dreamscape: recurring visions of hidden rivers, strange cities, time slips, supernatural encounters, and the constant thrill of being chased by something unseen (but definitely sinister).

Her stories are stitched together from these real, weird, and wonderful dreams, some recurring since she was a kid, others arriving in wild bursts of inspiration at 3am. The result? Fiction that feels like a memory from another life: familiar, eerie, and just a bit magical.

When she’s not writing, Anastasia runs a creative business, raises two tiny tornadoes (aka children), and still occasionally wakes up wondering if that dream was a story, a prophecy, or a glitch in the simulation.
